In this special episode, in conjunction with my birthday, I will be answering some questions brought together by The GLOW Collective team that consists of journeying back to my younger self, counting blessings, and translating growth into gratitude all throughout my years of life. A lot of the success I have today is all built from experiences and growth and I will be sharing this story with my listeners in this episode.

​

We might have high expectations for ourselves and those around us, but it's always important that we have grace, trust, and surrender- don't forget the fun aspect in everything we do! Everything will flow as it should. This episode is especially for those who would like to look back at themselves, their falls, their wins, and how to be grateful for where they're at right now. I hope you learn how we all see hurdles and difficulties in different ways, but we should always appreciate the beauty of it as we can only positively grow from them.
